I believe that utilitarianism is morally bankrupt because it doesn't distinguish between good people and bad people. The goal of a well-designed system should be to maximize happiness for good people but ALSO to maximize suffering for bad people. This incentivizes people to be good. When you treat the suffering of good people as equivalent to the suffering of bad people, you're creating really terrible incentives.
